Which state in Nigeria produce the most cassava?

As a manufacturer of cassava processing machinery, Henan Jinrui's team works closely with farmers and processors across Nigeria. One of the most common questions we hear is, "Which state is the true king of cassava production?" The answer is crucial because it tells us where the heart of the industry beats the strongest and where the greatest opportunities for processing lie.

cassava production in Benue state

The undisputed leader in cassava production in Nigeria is Benue State. Often referred to as the "Food Basket of the Nation," Benue's fertile soil and favourable climatic conditions make it an ideal environment for cultivating cassava on a massive scale. The state consistently tops the charts in annual output, supplying a significant portion of the nation's cassava.

However, it's important to note that cassava is a cornerstone of agriculture across much of Nigeria. Besides Benue State, other states like Kogi, Taraba, Delta, Ondo, and Cross River are also major producers, contributing significantly to Nigeria's position as the world's largest producer of cassava.

While Nigeria grows plenty of cassava, a significant challenge remains: post-harvest losses and a lack of intermediate processing. A vast quantity of the cassava harvested in Benue and other states never makes it to the market in a stable, high-value form. This is where the real potential for profit lies, and this is where our expertise comes in.
